Have to finish engine bay and paint it then engine goes in.
I pretty much bought a bare shell with all the parts dumped inside. Have been scrounging bits and pieces to put it back together.
A bit of work to do there. The carpet sides,i bought the carpet they use on boat trailer bunks. Perfect width and black. Looked great when i was done.I think I am going to have to do a paint job on the top, two tone gold/or silver, not sure yet. Then vynel paint the sides back to Matt black

a bit of work for sure, but it will be worth it, I will be putting a quick Silver shifter under it, not going for original at all, I will keep you guys updated, and yes, carpet needs to be the kind you are talking about to drape down the sidesA bit of work to do there.

And alternator pulley too. Amazon. The chrome brackets as well, was $230 for everything with shipping and duty.when you get a chance can you tell me where you got the crank and water pump pulley
The test sheet the first numbers are the factory specs, the results are the curve. Also they are in distributor degrees so double that at the crank.Hey Ray got the distributor yesterday. Looks GREAT!!
I'll show Jimmy the test sheet today when he comes over. He can explain it to me...LOL!!
Plan is to put the new harness and distributor on and FIRE it up.
what the H e ll is cold sink, never dun it, the pits are as bad as they look, but as you can see they are sanding almost smooth, little dots nowMike how bad is the pitting on that? If not to bad you might be able to polish it then cold zinc it then buff it out. Works pretty well.
Thank you Ray, I will indeed look into that, thank you for your time againYou spray it on turns grey then hit it with steel wool. Works pretty well was using it on vac advances for a bit before I started plating. I got it at Fastenal but sure it is around. Good for brackets and stuff also.
